Caramelized and tender butternut squash cubes roasted with brown sugar and cinnamon, perfect for your Thanksgiving table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash cubes with olive oil until evenly coated.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and pepper.
  4. Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the squash and toss to coat evenly.
  5. Spread the squash in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  6. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  7. Serve hot as a delicious fall vegetable side dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup along with the brown sugar.
  • Ensure the squash is in a single layer on the baking sheet for even roasting and caramelization.
  • If you are roasting a large batch, use two baking sheets to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to steaming instead of roasting.
